His parents had died in a car accident, when he was 14, but now
he was all grown up, 20 years old still living alone.

He hadn't been talking to anyone in the village. Not just because
he thought they were creepy and weird but because his parents
told him not to. All that he do was go to school and come back
home , he never spoke to anyone at his school.

Even when Louis's parents were alive they did the same , not talk
to anyone. Louis really didn't know the reason why .

Nobody really came to visit from outside the village. Even when
they did, they couldn't leave the Village.

Fedor had been cursed many years ago, that's the reason Louis
hadn't left this place, that's because he couldn't. The curse was
unknown; no one knew who had cast the spell. That's why this
village was called Fedor; you faded away from the outside world.

Louis hadn't seen the outside world at all. He sometimes wondered
if it was as boring as this village. He sometimes cried, because
he was so lonely. He had nobody to talk to.

But he did have things that he enjoyed doing, like reading a
book, writing his own songs and playing the piano.

Chapter 1

It was spring time and Louis went outside like usually, to sit on
the bench outside his house to read a book. There was nothing
else to do since there was no TV, no phone or anything else
electronic.

It had been quiet outside except for the birds chirping. But then
Louis heard a voice. He wondered who it could be, since no one
ever came to visit him.

"Who's there?" Louis asked loudly.

Then out of nowhere a kid came from behind Louis and covered his
mouth and quietly whispered, "Don't scream please. I need your
help. Please!!Please I need your help!!

Louis pushed the kids' hands away from his mouth and said "Where
the hell did you come from kid? And why would I help you? , asked
Louis

"Don't call me a kid, I'm 17. Anyway could you find me a place I
could hide please? Someone's after me, they want me dead or
something. And I don't wanna die so...please!!?" said the kid,
almost tears coming out of his eyes.

Louis looked at the kid and thought about it for a second. The
kids' clothes had been really torn. Louis wondered why. Then he
quickly replied, "Okay lets go. I got a place for you." said
Louis while walking inside his house. "Are you okay with staying
in the basement; there are bugs in there though".

"What?? You didn't have to say that. I hate bugs you know."

"Well you gonna have to deal with that kid.", said Louis

"Could you please stop calling me like that? I have a name you
know." said the boy.

"Well then Harry, here's the basement", said Louis while leading
Harry into the pitch black basement.

"Whoa it's too dark in here. Is there like a light switch or
something?" asked Harry

"Nope sorry"

"What?!! Not even a lamp"

"Nope!! No lamp, either. Why...Are you scared Harry?"

"Yeah of course I am, what do you think? It's so…so dark and you
said there are bugs in there. No way am I staying in there."

"So you rather die?" asked Louis while laughing.

"Can you please stop with that Louis" said Harry

"Oh I feel bad for you, just stay in my room,There's a lot of
space in my closet. Let's go',said Louis, while going up the
stairs toward his room , Harry following after him. "Wait!! How
do you know my name? , I never told you my name.", asked Louis

"Well I kind of do know you, I guess. But not really though"

"What do mean you know me, I've never met you before? I don't
even know who you are. Where'd you even come from? Are you from
this Village?"

"No, you're a stranger and you know my name. Why would I let you
stay? Tell me whatever you need to right now or else leave.",
said Louis , sounding a bit rude. "Well go on, I'm waiting….tell
me"

"Well someone sent me here; they said your name and told me where
you live. So I came here." said Harry.

"Who the hell would do that? I don't ever talk to no one in this
village. I barely know anyone really close. Do you know the name
to who she or he was?"

Well it's a he. He never mentioned his name though.

Did you ask him?

Yes of course I did. He said it's not important.

How's that not important? Why did you even listen to that man if
you didn't know him?

Well it's creepy but he said he knew I was coming and he knew my
name. Anyway that's not the important part though. I'm just
confused about everything. What is this place?

Well my question to you is how in the hell you ended up here.
Because this village is invisible from the real world.

I found this place myself. Now I wish I hadn't. It's because of
this book I found in my mom's library room. She...just died… a
month ago and I was going through her stuff and saw this book
called "Locked Up in Hell".

Oh sorry bout' that. So is that book supposed to be about this
Village?

Yeah it's creepy cause everything said in the book it's coming to
be true.

What do you mean?

Well there was a note I found inside the book, and it was in my
mom's handwriting. It was a list of things to do before dying.
One of them was visiting this place. It was not checked so she
hadn't done it yet. So I decided to visit this place for her.

But how did you get in?

I actually read the full book. It said some weird stuff. And..

Weird stuff… Like What?

I don't know it said a lot of things. Like the person who wrote
that book was…I think her name was Jay Tomlinson. And that's your
mom isn't it Louis?

What!!?? How do you know that?

That one man I told you about told me that.

Who the hell is that man, I better find out.

I said I don't know him.

Ok whatever. Continue…

Oh yeah so the book was autographed and given to my mom. Here I
have the book in my bag, I'll just show you, said Louis while
taking the book out of his bag and showing the page that was
autographed.

But how's that possible my mom died a long time ago when I was
about 16. She and my dad died 6 years ago and this book was
signed when?

Well it says the book was published 1 years ago.

What!!! How can that be possible she's dead?

Well I don't think she is .

Well I saw her get buried to the ground . I think I know that.
Your just making up stuff aren't you?

No am not…

Maybe it's some other author that has the same name as my mom.

Ok then... Why does the book mention this place. Exactly this
Village

Please just shut up. I know what my mom has written, I have read
all her stories how's that possible.

Ok just listen to me. I'll tell you what the book is about. It's
really important.

Well the book mentions a guy living alone in a Village that has
been cursed for many years. Well it was talking about you. The
book also tells about how people in this Village can reach the
real world. I think your mom found a way.

What you mean? She's still alive?

Yeah maybe I guess. Well she's gone from this Village and she's
in the real world according to the book.

What…give me that book, said Louis while grabbing it from Harry
and flipping it through the pages.
